The problem with fixed mag scopes seems to be that unless you're happy with 4x, a decent one is going to be spendy. I tend to leave my variables at 10X, so decided to get a fixed 10X. The first one I got was a POS, but what could you expect for $40 or so? I recently got an MTC Viper 10X, great scope with excellent optics, but it's a tank. 30mm tube, long and heavy, it's just too much, my preferences have evolved to light and compact. Speaking of which, you didn't mention a budget, but the Burris Timberline is a very nice scope, price is right at $200. 4.5-14x32, less than 12" long and under a pound, and the proprietary Ballistic Plex reticle is really nice, too. Good luck.
